The Cathedral is a representative of the ancient architecture in the Historic Centre of Macau

Within the scope of the Historic Centre of Macau, the Cathedral is not the most conspicuous ancient building, but as the hub of Catholicism in Macau and the highest administrative body of the Catholic Church in Macau, it is still worth a visit. External highlights: Ascending from the small sloping alley opposite to the Lou Kau Mansion, you will come across a cobblestone square with a fountain and a cross, which is the forecourt of the Cathedral. The elegant church that stands prominently on the granite pathway is the Cathedral itself, with its tender yellow exterior full of Portuguese flavor. The front of the church is particularly photogenic, and there is also a wishing well nearby. Internal highlights: The interior decoration is simple, with a flat ceiling and high windows on both sides of the walls. The church's most distinctive feature is the artistically colored glass embedded inside and the twin-tower style buildings below. The church once housed many Catholic relics and historical artifacts, and religious masterpieces such as 'The Baptism of Saint John' and 'The Crucifixion of Japanese Catholics in Nagasaki' are also preserved within the Cathedral. Admission: Free. Address: No. 1 Cathedral Square. Opening hours: 7:30-20:00. Nearby attractions: The Historic Centre of Macau, where the Cathedral is located, is a World Heritage Site centered around the old city of Macau. Within a 1-kilometer radius, you can walk to other attractions such as the Holy House of Mercy Building, St. Dominic's Church, Lou Kau Mansion, Jesuit Square, Ruins of St. Paul's, Monte Fort, Macau Museum, Old City Walls, and St. Anthony's Church.
